A Practical Christianity

Full Product Description

This book helps us to imagine how Christian practice can transform our lives and the world around us, and how we may come to understand more fully the central beliefs of Christianity. This draws us into Christian community – not the desire to become a body of like-minded people, but to become a group of diverse women and men who care about transforming themselves and the world by love.

Areas covered include forgiving and being forgiven, how we are saved, making moral choices about our lives, and models of the church’s relation to the changing world. It is all illustrated with pictures and poems and references to recent films; and at the end of each chapter there are questions for discussion or reflection.

A Practical Christianity by Jane Shaw was published by SPCK in May 2012 and is our 61681st best seller. The ISBN for A Practical Christianity is 9780281068166.

Reviews of A Practical Christianity

A Practical Christianity

Why does Jesus advise his disciples to shake the dust off their feet at places where they are not welcomed? Perhaps at the heart of this lies a preparedness for a life of rejection and alienation in this world. We may be at times unwelcomed, so this is utterly wise. Using this brave proposal Jane Shaw maps out for us a practical faith. This message is a timeless if uncomfortable one in an era of growing cultural hostility and cynicism. This is a subversive call away from wanting to be liked, to a bolstered existence where conviction and courage, strengthen our life of faith.

There are historical threads as well as a contemporary feel to this writing. In five chapters a considerable ask is graciously laid out before us. This book is thought-provoking and could be transformative, if fully inhabited. Great ideals..... Here’s to living the life!
